Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, then understanding dawned on him.
"No wonder he's so desperate for resentful souls. Aside from those five spirits, he's always fighting us for the ones with deep-seated resentment and malice. He doesn't seem to care as much about the normal souls of the dead. They'll follow the path he's laid out for the Yellow Springs Road anyway and end up in his trap." He snorted. "There's a saying: a cowardly soldier is just one man, but a cowardly general leads a whole nest of cowards. Demon soldiers need a Demon General to lead them. As the War Demon Lord, Bei Mingwushen wouldn't possibly manage mere grunts. And as for Yan Huo and Xuan Liu, one is his warhorse and the other is his weapon. They only need to revert to their true forms when fighting terrifying opponents of the same rank or higher. So, that makes them his personal guard. That means he needs powerful ghosts to act as his generals. Naturally, he'd be anxious to get them, and the more, the better."
